How It Works
Concourse is a online platform that connects people who need short-term studio, retail, and/or exhibition Space (“Creatives”) to property owners (“Landlords”) that have Space available on that basis. We make finding and renting Creative Space easy through our online booking system. Our system gives members the flexibility to rent Space by 30min, daily, weekly, and monthly increments. Concourse allows Landlords to list their Space, specify Rental rates, and communicate with Creative members directly. Creatives interested in a Space will contact a Landlord, using our Website. A Landlord may choose to accept or deny a booking request. If a Landlord is satisfied with a request, the Landlord and the Creative will enter a Rental Agreement directly. Then, Concourse collects the Rental payments from the Creative through our third party vendor, Paypal, on behalf of the Landlord. Concourse does not assume liability for Creatives and/or Landlord property and solely act as a connecting online community marketplace.Landlords Responsibilities
Landlords are responsible for the legality, accuracy and completeness of the description of all properties and related terms posted on the Website. Once a Landlord has listed their property availability the through Concourse Website, they will enter an Agreement with us which will determine the relationship between Landlord and Concourse moving forward. Our terms will be included in the Agreement by reference. In the event that the Agreement and these terms are inconsistent, the terms of the Agreement will ultimately define the terms.Landlords are solely responsible for the conduct of any prospective Creatives during the negotiations of any Tenancy Agreement. The decision to let a property to any particular Creative is up to the Landlord’s discretion without any representation, warranty, or statement by Concourse. When a Landlord receives a booking request, they will promptly respond accepting or denying a request. Once a Space let has been fulfilled, Concourse has no obligations to Landlords to reinstate or repair, any properties let by Landlords at the end of any tenancy Agreement.
Landlords are responsible for insurance of their own property and for insurance against risks normally borne by occupiers of Rental Spaces or otherwise specified by the Landlord.
Creative Responsibilities
Once a Creative has found a property on the Concourse platform that satisfies your requirements, you may submit a booking request to the Landlord. A booking request is the price offering to the Landlord for the duration of time a Creative will occupy a Space. If a booking request is accepted, the Creative will enter an Agreement with the Landlord either on the Concourse Agreement and/or the specified terms by a Landlord’s property listing. Creatives must comply with the specified terms of their Agreement with the Landlord, including any special terms, rules, Rental requirements, and/or Rental limitations.By accessing Concourse’s database of available Rentals, Creatives and Landlords agree to not transact Rental and/or Service payments directly, with respect of the properties they have discovered on the Concourse Website, unless they have Concourse’s prior consent.
Creatives are responsible for leaving a rented Space in the condition it was in before occupying the Space. Creatives are responsible for insurance of their own property and for insurance against risks normally borne by occupiers of Rental Spaces or otherwise specified by the Landlord. If a Creative has any doubt about what insurance is required they should consult their own insurers or insurance brokers.
Creatives are responsible for finding properties that meet their Rental requirements with regards to features, amenities, location, size, and equipment. Concourse does not warrant, guarantee, or represent properties listed by Landlords of suitable condition to be let or that Landlords have the right to enter Rental contracts in respect of the properties listed by Landlords and to receive Rental payments in respect of the properties. Concourse is not liable for the legality, accuracy or completeness of any Rental offers or content posted by Landlords in respect of any proposed Rental contract that fails to satisfy for any reason.
Rental contracts are made exclusively between Landlords and Creatives. Concourse is not a party to any Rental contract, or negotiation to any Rental contract, and does not fulfill any obligations derived from the contractual relationship between Landlords and Creatives. Concourse does not make or accept any offers, either in its own capacity or on behalf of either Landlords or Creatives or any other party. Concourse disclaims all liability arising from or related to any Rental contract to the fullest extent permitted by law.
